THANK YOU TO DONORS

REPORT TO THE PICKERING COLLEGE COMMUNITY 2021-2022
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY.
It is with immense gratitude that we take this opportunity to thank you and to recognize the generosity of our parents, alumni, sta , past parents, grandparents and friends who have donated to Pickering College.
Every gift to our school has mattered. Last year, donors contributed more than $7.3 million to help make Pickering College an extraordinary place of learning and connection for our students. And, because of your unwavering support, we are excitedly moving forward with the construction of West Lake House.
In the coming pages of Thank you to Donors, you will see an inspiring group of people and organizations partnering with Pickering College to ensure the best possible experiences for current and future students. Our donors have supported the school in many di erent ways, and each act of generosity has had an incredible impact on our students and broader school community. From guests and sponsors supporting the school’s signature fundraising events, to our Light The Way capital campaign towards West Lake House, we are grateful to celebrate the sense of community and spirit of generosity that is embraced wholeheartedly at our school.
You will also be inspired by the immense kindness honouring two important people in the Pickering College community. After 53 years as a teacher, coach, mentor, advisor and alumni ambassador, Charles F. Boyd passed away on September 14, 2021, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of nearly 5,000 students, alumni and sta . He was a kind, compassionate and caring individual to everyone that knew him, and personi ed the belief that The People are Pickering. In his memory, our community showed profound support towards sustaining the school’s outdoor education program at his beloved Blue & Silver Farm.
As you may know, Peter Sturrup, Head of School Emeritus, retired in June 2022. Over the course of nearly three decades, he guided the school through times of triumph and turmoil, leaving a lasting impact on generations of students. To commemorate this special milestone, our community expressed support towards future investments in our students’ education through the Sturrup Family Endowment Fund, yet another lasting impact of the Sturrup family.
Every day, whether in the classrooms or co-curricular activities, we see the di erence your generosity makes for our school. Your gift to our community provides students with endless opportunities to discover their talents and grow into passionate leaders ready to take action. Your support has made a di erence in the lives of our students, today and in the future generations who will go on to make positive change in the world.
We are so grateful to those donors and volunteers who choose to make Pickering College a philanthropic priority in their lives. Thank you for your continued kindness and generosity.
With great appreciation,
Dr. Cinde Lock
Mirella Morra Head of School Chair, Board of Directors

KIRSTEN NICOLSON
Let passion guide your philanthropy
Kirsten Nicolson is a local Newmarket resident and Pickering College parent. She has had children attending the school since 2010. However, her connection to PC goes back much further than that, as her uncle, Dr. Louis Lanier, was a physical education teacher at the school in the late 1940s and her neighbour was past faculty and alumnus Rudy Renzius ’27. As a result, Kirsten’s parents forged many relationships with faculty, including with Frederick Hagan, C.R. “Blackie” Blackstock, and Keith “Booker” McLaren, to name a few.
As a passionate reader, literacy is an important cause to Kirsten and her family. Kirsten quickly became involved in the Pickering College Association (PCA) by volunteering and attending events, and has been the Library Tribute Program Chair since 2015. In this role, she has become a generous supporter of the Learning Commons and over the years Kirsten and her family have funded countless resources and books for our students. Kirsten points to her own experience with the Library Tribute Program, sharing that helping students engage with books through celebration, remembrance, and honour, is a great way to foster an enjoyment of reading.
In addition to purchasing birthday books when her children were students in Junior School, Kirsten and her family continue to support the Library Tribute Program in other ways. When her beloved brother-in-law, Craig Boland, passed away suddenly, the family decided to provide several books in remembrance. Craig was a teacher who was passionate about Indigenous issues, so it was only fitting to add to the library’s collection on this subject. The family also marked a birthday milestone in celebration of her mother, Dorothy, who once worked as a nurse at PC during a flu outbreak. Kirsten shares, “My mother always claimed she didn’t need ‘things’ anymore. As an avid reader, she was thrilled with the idea of new books in the Learning Commons in her name.” Working with the school librarian, several books for students ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 12 have been purchased and enjoyed. Kirsten comments that she “would like to see not only physical books purchased but also e-books and e-licenses to stay up to date with changing technology and educational demands. It is important to continue engaging with students as they get older and the materials change.”
Kirsten and her family focus their philanthropic giving toward areas they believe in and know are important to the overall wellness of the school. Along with their robust and continued support of the Library Tribute Program, they give yearly to the PC Annual Fund to support Head of School Initiatives. “We choose to support the PC Annual Fund because we trust the school knows where the funds are needed and what priorities should be addressed. Many things come up over the year that require attention and funding that cannot be predicted or planned for.” Kirsten also points out that these donations support the people and programs that make the school community so special. “One of the many benefits of Pickering
College is the sense of community that exists. From the students to the parents to the faculty and staff, every person is welcoming and accepting.” In reflecting on her children’s years at PC she remarks, “The staff and faculty truly care about the students, providing invaluable support and attention to help them achieve their goals. Even something as small as learning and greeting each student by name throughout their time at PC. This helps to develop a safe space for the students to feel confident and accepted. The students are not merely a number and this, coupled with the smaller class sizes, helps them to foster stronger relationships with their peers.”
The sense of community is what inspired Kirsten to become involved at PC, saying, “The school has given so much to my children I wanted to become involved even in the slightest manner.” Kirsten grew up steps from Pickering College. “The school has always loomed in my life, so to speak, from being a neighbour, to my parents’ social circle and even giving me a hand in getting one of my first jobs! Fresh from graduating law school and completing my articles, I had my first interview at a Bay Street firm. I was extremely nervous to be sitting in front of a well-known litigator for a position I desperately wanted. It was a Pickering College connection that broke the ice. When he found out I was from Newmarket I discovered he was a PC alumnus with very fond memories of the school and the conversation flowed from there.” It is that type of lasting impression that Kirsten feels the school has granted her children. It is what motivates her involvement and why her family proudly gives to the school. “The people are the heart and soul of Pickering College. We are grateful for the opportunities that are offered to students and families. The help and support are invaluable.”

–Kirsten Nicolson
Raising our family to give back
is supporting the completion of West Lake House, expressing he knows it will be “an innovative facility for the students and a significant hub for student learning and community celebrations.” For Jason and Lisa, extending their support to West Lake House represents a meaningful way to contribute to the overall growth and development of the PC experience, not only for current students but for future generations.
charitable causes and organizations that the Yip family now support through their foundation, including Girls Inc., Special Olympics, Rose of Sharon, Markham Food Bank, and they have continued giving to Pickering College.
The Yip family was no different when they were deciding on a school for their daughters, PC graduate Kirsten ’19 and current Grade 10 student Madison. Lisa shares, “Both Kirsten and Madison excelled in gymnastics, and it was important to find a school that could accommodate their training schedule.” Pickering College became a front runner for the Yip family with the opportunity to participate in the High Performance Student Athlete (HPSA) Program. The HPSA Program is unique to Senior School students and provides special support and consideration to those students in competitive athletics. For those reasons and many more, the Yip family decided on Pickering College as their school of choice and have never looked back.
Since then, the Yip family has become an instrumental part of the Pickering College community and a generous donor to the school. Jason and Lisa quickly became involved at PC, attending many school activities, supporting fundraising events, and giving generously towards the vision for the new academic building. Jason joined the Pickering College Corporation in 2019 and the Board of Directors in 2021. With a fierce passion for giving back, Jason took on the role of Development Committee Chair in 2021. His main goal
It has been important to Jason and Lisa to show their children how to give back. They work to encourage a value of generosity within their home, and point to a longstanding family motto, “It’s a lot more fun to live our legacy than to leave it.” Beginning with a family initiative to help local families during the holiday season, the Yip family partnered with their church and the Markham Food Bank to provide 28 Christmas hampers in 2017. This past holiday season, the program provided 406 hampers to local families.
Building upon this family-giving sentiment, Jason and Lisa created their own charitable foundation three years ago called Foundation Counts. Both Kirsten and Madison are very involved in the foundation, researching and selecting the charities and organizations that receive support. Lisa points out that by allocating this responsibility, it helps foster a natural ownership of the foundation to each family member. Recently, Kirsten took on a director role within the foundation and plans to become more involved in the future. Madison intends to follow in her sister’s footsteps once she has finished her studies at Pickering College.
Jason and Lisa explain how Foundation Counts focuses on intentional giving: knowing where you give and why you give. Lisa points out that for a person or an organization to give, they must know and trust who they are giving to. She shares that as a family, “intentional giving guides our efforts towards projects where we are able to give a hand up to recipients, not a hand out.” There are a variety of
“The school naturally fell into one of the spaces we wanted to support and is a cause we feel deeply connected to.” Jason adds, “With private and independent schools, there are many misconceptions which can make recognizing the funding needs more challenging to identify. Yet, philanthropy makes so much possible at Pickering College and greatly benefits every student.”
For Jason and Lisa, their investment in the school is a commitment to nurturing the potential of the students and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead for each student. Lisa explains that at the core of their giving to Pickering College, lies a deep conviction in the school’s mission and values. “We are inspired by the way the school’s Global Leadership Program, and so many other areas of a PC education, shape the minds and hearts of PC students. By supporting the school, we are playing a small part in helping equip students with the values and tools necessary to become passionate leaders and advocates for our communities.”
Jason agrees. “We believe every child is called to be a leader, although how that looks is unique to each student. Pickering College is in a unique position to impact students as they grow and develop into their future leadership roles.”
The Yip family views philanthropy as an important way people can create impact in their communities, and for the PC Community. For them, giving back is more than just a generous act—it is a way to create meaningful change in the world and be a catalyst for positive change at the school. “We believe giving breaks the power of money. Giving connects your heart to your passions. Giving is a means to experience financial freedom. Giving demonstrates gratitude for what you have received.”

Determining where to send your children to school can be a difficult decision for families. Many factors are taken into consideration when making that choice, like location, curriculum, co-curricular opportunities, athletic accommodations, and unique programs available.
